MacGregor, part of Cargotec, has won comprehensive equipment package contracts for seven specialist support vessels that will operate in the Middle East.
MacGregor will deliver: a deck crane and deck machinery, shark-jaws and towing pins to two 58-m anchor handling tug supply (AHTS) vessels; deck machinery and a deck crane to one 45-m work utility vessel; and a deck crane and deck machinery to four 45-m maintenance utility vessels. MacGregor equipment deliveries are planned for the first quarter of 2017.
The vessels will be built in China for a leading provider of marine logistics services in the Middle East. They are planned for delivery in the third quarter of 2017 and will support the operations of a Middle Eastern NOC in the Arabian Gulf under a firmed five-year charter with a two-year extension option.
